He was a member of Fairlawn United Methodist Church and served in the United States Air Force as a medic. Throughout the years, he was a member of Abate, Rogers Rangers, and Pair-a-dice Cruisers. Lee retired from the City of Evansville, but continued working by using his talent as an artist and blacksmith.
Lee was preceded in death by his parents, Allean and Lee Adkison; and brothers, Ray McBride and Jim Adkison.
He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Donna; daughters, Danielle (Kent) Wilhite, Adrienne (Eric) Tanner, and Briana Adkison; grandsons, Declan, Luke, and Conor; brother, Doug (Pam) Adkson; and other family members, Sherry Adkison, Jeb Anfield, and Christian Daniel.
The family would like to give a special thank you to their dear Dr. Vivian Cook, who they could not have gotten through this journey without, to the OHA staff, and to Chemo Buddies for their care.
